Has anybody seen HUGE mosquitoes? What makes them so big?

Okay, as a note, don't tell me these are crane flies (aka mosquito eaters, mosquito hawks, or any other cutsie names). These are most definitely mosquitoes, but close to the size of a crane fly. They're fat, huge, and can bite through ANYTHING even if it's covered in high DEET content Off! One bit through a very thick sweater I was wearing after I had already sprayed! I can't figure out what made them so big! Does anyone know how to ward them off?
